Why would they want the Premium Model to have less drive-ability, safety and longevity? We know the smaller turbo is more then capable for 310 at the fly why not have it on the F6 too, to get all the other benifits? Simple - prodrive couldn't get the calibration right in time on the samller turbo, and so they had to bail at the last minute and go with the known combination. Or at least that's what I've heard around the traps.

Surely all these experts could put together a tune for a car that shares so much powertrain and transmission traits as that of the lower models that Ford were in fact able to tune. But anyway where gettin off topic. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69549-2010-fg-turbo/page/4/#findComment-1063859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty XR6T Donating Members 516 Member For: 15y 1m 20d Gender: Male Posted 15/12/10 02:37 AM Share Posted 15/12/10 02:37 AM you would also think that a company like Ford could produce a car that doesnt break tail shafts, kill diff bushes, have working ipod modules, or have working air con modules straight from its release, yet here we are 2 years on from the FG release and are constantly taking our cars back for warranty repairs for stuff they couldnt get right from when it was released.Anyway back to the topic, the cooler does look cheap and nasty but if it does the job for a stocker than so be it, not sure what the big deal is, most of us mod the car anyway and one of the first port of calls is an after market cooler.
